    this isn’t explicitly true, we spend money on ukraine because russia is illegally invading ukraine, but i’ll give you that one, since most people know that by now.

    What we also know, is that russia holding military positions in ukraine, destabilizes the rest of the EU, because now the border states are much more concerned about active invasion. Which disrupts trade, and the global economy, it’s generally a bad thing.

    What we know about israel in particular, is that israel is a massive force projector for the US in the middle east, the US is essentially doing their bidding through israel in that regard. If you think the entirety of the bidding that the US is doing is just bombing Palestinians, you probably need to go do some reading.

    Like don’t get me wrong, i don’t like it either, i’m not a huge fan, but it’s kind of just the name of the game unfortunately, which btw we have the US retract slightly on it’s stance in the matter, which is a good thing.

    quick edit: although to be clear, i was most talking about how people were being overly dramatic about the whole ordeal completely killing any care i had in it at all.

      I have no idea what point you are trying to make here. And I can only laugh when people say shit like “people got too upset that their taxes are funding genocide, and it made me stop caring about the genocide”.
